Who Needs Toys When You Have Feet?

Bailey and Grandma and Grandpa Gloe

Bailey misses his Grandma and Grandpa Gloe!

Fun Day at the Zoo

I took Monday off of work so that we could go to the zoo with my Mom. It was Bailey's second trip to the zoo. This day was perfect! The temperature was just right, it was cloudy so I didn't have to worry about the sun in Bailey's eyes and there wasn't a crowd at all. My word of advise: Don't go on a Friday at the end of the school year. Too many field trips!

Bailey liked the Aviary....

But he really LOVED the sharks!

Grandma and Grandpa's Arrival

My Dad had John Deere meetings in Dallas, so my Mom joined him on the trip so she could have some Bailey time. Look at that belly on that big boy!

This is a site I thought I'd NEVER see. My Dad, the John Deere man on a Ford!

Bailey Rolled Over (Back to Belly)

Bailey rolled from his back to his belly today, at about 4 1/2 months old.

Daddy's Yard Project

These were taken about two years ago! Travis was busy building a welding table and a backhoe in those two years. It looks about the same now, except that the terrace has been cut back more. As soon as it stop raining, Travis will pour footings and continue with the wall. But until then.... He is digging terraces in our backyard and in the neighbor's yards between rainstorms. The neighbors will be continuing the terraces that we are building, plus it gives them more usable yard.

We called Digtess to come out and mark all of the utility lines. They missed marking two phone lines, so Travis cut through one of them, spliced it back together, then cut through it again. It jumped about a foot and half deep to 2 inches deep within 8 inches. We ended up getting AT&T to come out and relocate that line because it was going across the street when the closest box is at the back corner of our yard. AT&T will come out again to mark another neighbors phone line. Then the digging can continue.

Most of these are rocks Travis dug out of the neighbor's yard. They had a layer of rock, so that is probably why they have always had standing water issues. Our neighbor will probably be using these rocks to build his terrace.

Photo Shoot on a Pretty Day

I thought all of these were sweet, so here they are.

This is Bailey's tough guy face.

Can I Ride?

We took a lot of great pictures of Bailey today. It was a decent Mother's Day for me. Bailey was a little fussy, so we would go outside and check out Daddy's progress on every hour or so. Bailey loves being outside! It's almost 11:00pm now, so I need to get ready for bed now. HOPEFULLY I'll post more pictures soon. I posted several entries today from March 24th thru April 13th. Good night for now!

Andrew's 2nd Birthday Party

All of the cousins together again.

Eyelashes

When Bailey was born, his eyelashes were thin and not very long. We assumed that he had my nonexistent eyelashes (which Travis was happy about). Travis has long eyelashes, but considers them a curse because they get in his eyes.... but I think they are pretty! Bailey definitely has his Daddy's pretty eyelashes.
